Quote:Question for Rafal: is the language of the Rohonc codex (as far as it can be determined) grammatically correct, or did the author took liberties with it too?
This is an important question Jorge.
I believe that Rohonc Codex is written in a kind of constructed language and as we know constructed language hypothesis was also suggested for Voynich Manuscript by William Friedman.
You must remember that each language has its own grammar and things that are ungrammatical in English may be grammatical in other language. So if we translate some language word by word to English it will usually look "ugly".
You may check interlinear translations of the Bible to see what I mean

Another thing is that some language have more "loose" grammar and some have more "rigid" grammar. If language A is loose and language B is rigid, then sentences in language A may seems very ungrammatical to a speaker of language B. But they are perfectly grammatical in language A.
The language grammar used in the Rohonc Codex is loose. For me it is actually quite similar to a pidgin ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ). It looks ugly.
But the sentences make sense, make patterns and make a consistent story which agrees with the Bible. So it was most probably grammatical for the author.
Unfortunately I don't see similar patterns in Voynich Manuscripts. There are patterns but they are very "inhuman", not possible for me to imagine in any language, like clusters of similar words appearing together.
